Thanks for the info, Jules. When I tested the X10 in-store, I also was concerned about the lack of feedback in the viewfinder. I will be interested in how that works for you in real life. That's my only real concern about this camera.

I've had a few more days and outings to play with the camera and I'm really in love. I find that I'm currently doing a 50/50 split between the viewfinder and the LCD screen for shooting. Some thoughts:

1. For landscapes and objects in the mid/far distance I find I can use the viewfinder without problems. This is perfect for walk around shooting use.
2. For close portraits or something that requires careful composition I tend to use the LCD as parallax makes the viewfinder more of an estimate rather than an accurate framing tool
3. I found a couple of occasions where close objects were in the viewfinder but actually cropped out of the resulting image. I need to test a bit more why/when this occurs (I would have thought that 85% coverage would mean that you would only gain more of the scene rather than lose parts of it)
4. The lack of feedback/display just needs some getting used to. You can't tell what is in focus, but the AF is surprisingly accurate that it's not something you need to worry about too much.

Anyway, I'll report back with more thoughts later. Let me know if you have any more questions...
